Vibration at higher speeds

Vibration at higher speeds
I am getting very noticeable vibration in the car at speeds over 100km/h
Steering wheels vibration and the car shakes.
I have the 19" AMG rims.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Very dispointing...

Yep it's likely wheel balance so don't get too life shatteringly depressed Op.
I have a minor vibration at 75mph. I'm waiting to see if it will bed in as the tyre wears or whether it gets worse at which point I'll balance the wheels as it's too minor to bother.

Vibration amg 19"
I also have the vibration over 100km but I have my own shop took all wheels off the car and rebalanced them all wheels were off a bit but right front was really off .75 outer and 1.25 inner that's allot ! That wheel rim also has a 10mm runout so rim is bent the one rear rim also had a 5mm run out so back to the dealer the car went ! Seems they fix rims not replace ? Feeling kinda confused why I spent $75K on car and I have bent rims and been without my car longer then I have owned it !

Does your dealer have Hunter road force balancing tool? Sometimes, "regular" balancing may not get all the vibrations out. That's just from my own experience anyway.

I can thoroughly recommend the hunter stuff, but it can be quite expensive. It depends how bad the vibration is. Mine comes and goes and I can't be bothered to faff around booking it in just for a minor only just felt vibration that comes and goes. If it gets worse perhaps I'll take it in.

Back from the dealer. The tires have a flat spot from sitting at the dealer for two months. It was built early and sat at the lot. They say drive the car and flat spot will work its way out.
My fingers are crossed.

This is BS, you paid for a new car, I don't care if the tires are flat spotted, tell them it's not your problem and you want new tires, if they refuse call or e-mail MB.
